About this apartment rental

Gull's Rest is a charming cottage that has recently been completely renovated and beautifully furnished for a truly comfortable and welcoming holiday year-round. The front deck is a lovely spot for a summer morning coffee, while the log burner is perfect for a cosy winter's evening. Located just behind Market Square you're seconds away from Dartmouth's shops, bars, and restaurants yet in a prime elevated position peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle below. A parking permit is provided.


Accommodation:

A flight of 25 old stone steps from the road takes you up to the private, enclosed front deck.

The front door opens straight into the cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove, comfortable sofas and armchair, a Smart TV and an EE TV box

Stairs up to the first floor where you will find the light and airy kitchen and dining area, complete with integrated appliances including an oven and hob, fridge freezer, washing machine, and dishwasher and a Nespresso coffee pod machine. The dining area has an extendable dining table that comfortably seats six.

Off the kitchen is a small single bedroom with built-in hanging space and access to the tiled family bathroom, which includes a bath with an overhead shower and heated towel rail.

Stairs from the dining area lead up to the second floor, where you will find two other bedrooms and a shower room. The master bedroom - with views over towards town and the market - has a kingsize bed, built-in hanging space, and a chest of drawers. The second bedroom is a twin room with hanging space and storage. There is an additional shower room on this floor, too.

The house has central heating and a wood-burning stove (logs can be purchased locally).


Outside:

At the front of the property is the private enclosed deck made with grey composite material giving a fresh contrasting finish to the traditional mid-terrace building. Garden seating and potted plants make it the perfect bijou spot to enjoy your morning coffee or an evening glass of fizz.

It is possible to stop at the bottom of the steps to unload, and a parking pass is provided for the Mayors Avenue Car Park - a 3-minute walk away.

Please note the flight of stairs up to the property are quite steep and a little uneven.


Parking:

The car park pass provided is valid for the Mayors Avenue Car Park, a 3-minute walk away. The permit does not guarantee a space, and the car park can be very busy during the high season. During Dartmouth Regatta towards the end of August the car park is closed.

Great house in imaculate condition. Lots of steps up to the house and two stair case within the property but no stair gates so bought our own from Argos. But apart from that we had a lovely time and would defo recommend to anyone looking for an easy property for walking straight into town.

Very nice stay. My Grandparents used to have a house in Kingswear so this was a great base to explore the area
8.0 / 10.0
The property was clean with new modern bathrooms, spacious for our group and in an ideal location. We enjoyed our stay however there are a few touches that would have made it that bit more comfortable. A welcome hamper with some basics such as milk and bread, a washing up cloth/sponge, at least one dishwasher tablet and washing machine tablet and mattress protectors on the beds (a must). I've stayed in numerous holiday rentals where these things are provided and much appreciated especially if you are arriving late in the day/evening.

Quality place. Very well decorated. Recommend to this to those wishing to experience the Dartmouth area. Close to everything. There are some noisy sea gulls but it’s not a big deal. Just be careful not to follow sat Nav all the time when it takes you down small country lanes. Woodlands and River Dart Country Park are great options if you have kids. And the beaches at Salcombe and Paignton are great options for kids upto 12 years old. The service was good from the team. We would definitely go back.

Lovely house in the heart of Dartmouth
Lovely house in the heart of Dartmouth
This is a lovely, comfortable house in the heart of Dartmouth. The house is just a couple of minutes from everything that Dartmouth has to offer. The house comes with a parking permit which means you can park for free in a car park 5 mins away. The house is over 3 levels and up some steps so avoid if you have mobility issues. The living room and kitchen are big, comfortable and nicely decorated. The 3 bedrooms are nicely presented and great for our group of 4 adults. There is also an attractive yard at the front of the house where you can enjoy nice weather. The only downside was that there was only one soap and dishwasher tablets in the property. This meant we needed to go to a shop to stock up on toiletries but there are plenty of shops around the town.

Great central location and lovely house
Great central location and lovely house
Great central location in Dartmouth - you can walk anywhere from here. Lovely spacious house with 2 bathrooms (ideal with 2 grown up daughters) and an outdoor terrace. Beautifully decorated. Just be aware this is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems - tricky stone steps to reach the house and then 3 floors in the house. Otherwise a perfect choice.

Wonderful stay at Gull’s Rest
Wonderful stay at Gull’s Rest
Gull’s Rest is in a perfect location in the heart of Dartmouth, which we found to be very convenient. The cottage was very homely and clean with comfortable beds, lovely linen and towels. It provided everything we needed as a family with a well equipped kitchen and we would certainly recommend it to others. We had excellent communication with Dart Valley Cottages and hope to return again in the future.
